    Network Connection Problems - 98, XP, 7, 10 All versions


    I have Windows 98, XP, 7, and 10 computers and need to freely connect to their drives and sometimes other resources - mostly printers.


    A few days ago, I spent the entire day working on this and had, I thought, a lot of the problems resolved only to find the next day I could not access just about everything and the problem was worse. Most disappointing, is that this is not the first time, or even the second, or third.


    Since this is a private network, I would even consider shutting off all network security. I know many will say this is a bad idea, but after years of this repeating problem, I am desperate.


    I have changed so many things in so many different places I do not know what is right anymore and now need to go through everything and recheck all settings.


    Is there a tutorial covering all of this problem?

    Can anyone offer advice?


    Thank you so much if you persist in this and help.

    :)

  2. setting network up between xp and 2 98 systems

    ok do this, set the workgroups on both computers to

    WORKGROUP

    then change both ip's to the same subnet, i.e. 192.168.1.1-255 - do this manually in network properties
    configure a default gateway if you havnt already, i.e. 192.168.1.1

    then once you have done this open cmd prompt on both the xp and 98 and type

    Win 98 - ping (the ip address of the xp machine)
    Win XP - ping (the ip address of the 98 machine)

    if the pings are successful you should be able to connect once you have done these steps *Smile Network Connection Problems - 98, XP, 7, 10 All versions :)

    setting network up between xp and 2 98 systems

    How do I set up workgroup in 98?
    If the gateway is set to 192.168.1.1 can the IP be given the same value. also what about dns?
